Author of the swashbuckling matchlock-fantasy novels 'A Blade For Hire' & 'The Man With The Broken Sword'.
Thought I might do a longer post to help introduce people to my series a little better and help prospective readers better understand what they might be in for. Sooo: A Blade For Hire is a low magic, swashbuckling matchlock fantasy that follows the fortunes of Hale, a former…


It's usually to 'protect Our NHS' but sometimes it's because something tragic happened to people and we get a well meaning but ultimately disastrous law named after one of the victims.
Most repressive countries have an ideology that they're supposedly repressing people in the name of, but Britain just dispenses with that and oppresses people randomly with no explanation
Mfers are bitter at the dead now. People can't even die without getting moaned at by the Internet. Fucking hell.
Funerals aren't so much for the person departing, but for those left behind. The dead have no right to dictate to the living.
I can't believe we still don't have advanced filters and shit for GIFs. Like we went to the moon. I want more than typing in a word and getting a messy blob of jittery pictures.
Haven't watched this in years. Forgot how awesome it is. Some really quality performances throughout, the whole thing has a lovely consistent tone to it and, I dunno how to explain it, it was just a good time for me to watch it again. Heartily recommend. John Cusack does a decent…

Does the FIA realise it could just move the Dutch GP to this spot on the calendar and add some excitement into that race with the wet weather, then move the Belgian GP to post summer break when the reliable weather normally makes the Dutch race boring? Or does it take another £10…

There's a very subtle thing in this video that epitomises why Hulk became such a big deal in wrestling; notice as he comes out of the entrance he stops, turns and points at the fans sitting behind it. I can't think of anyone else that did that.
Hulk Hogan comes out for the first time to his iconic "Real American" theme at Madison Square Garden.
I popped out for milk and ended up in a battle reenactment. That’s classic Britain.
Dude brought an RC car to a dog park
Weeeeeeeeelllll.....
share a piece of lore that connects you to history.
In the 1970s, drunk driving was treated like speeding or not wearing your seat belt. MADD made a difference into making DUI's a much more serious offense. The same thing needs to happen with distracted driving. I see people on the HIGHWAY with their heads burried in phones.
The number of people texting and driving is crazy. People really be out here valuing their lives at zero - what could possibly be so important, no one knows
The Gildtress Tree 🍂 Dug deep and somehow found the creative energy to do one more full painting for THE WINDS OF WAR. I hope you like it. We're just hours away from launch ... 😱
In a world full of unknown terrors, you need an investigator like Aethelgard and an engineer like Actaeon, who will never give up until they find the TRUTH!
✨THE WINDS OF WAR IS OUT WORLDWIDE! ✨ I've poured everything into this book. Thousands of hours of toil. And now it's time to let it out into the world. Thank you in advance to everyone who supports this release in any way. I appreciate it more than words can express. 🧡
